Is There a Right Way to Lead Life?

                           Which way is Right?

My Opinion towards choosing the right way to lead Life.

Human life is a fascinating pattern of celebrations, honors, joys, struggles, challenges, fears and failures. It is like a seesaw, only momentarily arriving at the horizontal, stable plane. For some there is lion's share of either happiness or misery, whereas for others the ratio varies.

But why is this so? Is there a remedy? What can we as individuals do to make our lives better, meaningful and worthwhile?

Some say it is all because of our Karma (past and present deeds).

Some believe it is due to the circumstances and upbringing, whereas some faithfully declare it to be the will of God.

Whatever it might be. Is there anything we can do to alleviate the burden of our problems and miseries, and add to our joy and well being?

The answer is definitely YES!

We can change our Thoughts, Feelings, Behavior and Attitude towards failures, struggles, fears and challenges. Changing our attitude such that failures, struggles, fears or challenges are not just mere Burden of miseries rather than just another event in life and as an opportunity to grow mentally, emotionally, spiritually and also skillfully.

There is a need to transform ourselves and in order to structure a balanced life we need to focus our efforts on four aspects.

On the Physical plane - physique, diet and good habits seem to be the essential ingredients for a successful, healthy and happy life.

On the Mental plane - material and moral education shape the way we think about and accept the uncertainties and challenges of life.

On the Emotional plane - a sympathetic shoulder provides support and confidence in tempestuous times.

Lastly On the Spiritual plane - though intangible, with the refuge and guardianship of a guru embellishes us with inner faith, contentment and ultimate liberation.

The rules, norms and traditions were created by people several decades ago for the kind of life they desired to live, therefore does it mean that people who do not follow these rules, norms and traditions have chosen the wrong path to lead their lives.

Certainty NOT, there is nothing called Right path or Wrong path of leading Life.

Unless our conscience makes us feel uncomfortable or hurt other people deliberately.

Lead a Life of your choice, no predetermined social mindset has the right to make us lead a life which we haven't chosen for. Be it with respect to Career, Relationships, Marriage, Family, Clothing, Speaking, Belief system or Culture.
